Emerging Squad of the Year Announced

On Sunday, the Cricket ACT Emerging Meteors and Comets program came to a close with the annual Emerging Cup.

More than 120 junior cricketers took part in the Emerging programs this season, and the Emerging Cup sees all players take part in a Twenty20 competition to end what has been a busy season.

This year, the winners of the Emerging Cup was the Emerging Comets Under 12's side (pictured).

The Emerging program is for the best and brightest junior cricketers in the Canberra region, and following the Emerging Cup a 'Squad of the Year' was selected to recognise the players who have performed and developed the most over the past season.

Former ACT Meteor Rebecca Maher was named as the coach of the squad after fulfilling the role of Under 15 Emerging Meteors Head Coach. Bec retired from playing at the end of last season, and has thrown herself into helping the next generation of young local aspiring female cricketers.
